Whom You Connect With Matters: Innovation Collaboration Network Centrality and Innovative Productivity in Chinese Cities
This paper introduces eigenvector centrality to capture partner heterogeneity and examines its impact on urban innovation. By constructing and empirically testing a co-invention patent database of Chinese cities over the period from 2014 to 2018, we find that eigenvector centrality has a positive effect on urban innovation. Technology breadth and technology depth increases are two important underlying mechanisms. A counterfactual analysis shows that laggard cities with low levels of innovation can increase their innovative productivity by establishing collaborative links with other cities, especially with well-connected cities, which indicates the potential gains from policies that improve the inter-city innovation collaboration network structure. And this result is further confirmed by the comparative analysis of Erdos and Chifeng.
期刊介绍:
Growth and Change is a broadly based forum for scholarly research on all aspects of urban and regional development and policy-making. Interdisciplinary in scope, the journal publishes both empirical and theoretical contributions from economics, geography, public finance, urban and regional planning, agricultural economics, public policy, and related fields. These include full-length research articles, Perspectives (contemporary assessments and views on significant issues in urban and regional development) as well as critical book reviews.
